In four-player games, Esper Sentinel can draw you a ton of cards quickly, as it's each opponent's first spell during a turn that triggers it, not just their own
Sure, it goes against the original idea of them as additional objectives but if the only correct play is to remove them at all costs, theyve just replaced the original objective of the game with one not all decks are well built to handle
Even if they didnt have a disruption piece, taking their best card is hopefully enough to delay yourself by one turn
There have been other sculpture illustrations, like those from Sachiko Adachi or Hizuki Misono (who only produced four cards, but there are utterly endearing all the same)
Since the development is in main phase 2, it's a pity that even if you take it back with some effect, it won't even be an RBI for that turn
